Study summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the immunogenicity, safety and immune persistence of recombinant trivalent rotavirus subunit vaccine in healthy infants aged 6-12 weeks and healthy toddlers aged 7-71 months.

Read the detailed description

This clinical trial is aimed to evaluate the immunogenicity, safety and immune persistence of recombinant trivalent rotavirus subunit vaccine in Chinese healthy infants aged 6-12 weeks and healthy toddlers aged 7-71 months.The subjects will be divided into 12 subgroups. Two different immune regimens and two dose levels will be evaluated in each age group. Toddlers aged 7-71 months will receive two intramuscular injections on Day 0 and 28 or three intramuscular injections on Day 0, 28 and 56. Infants aged 6-12 weeks will receive three intramuscular injections on Day 0, 28 and 56 or Day 0, 56 and 112. Two dose (mid dose and high dose) will be included in each age group. To maintain blindness in the trial, in each age group with fixed immune regimen, subjects will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive mid dose vaccine, high dose vaccine, or placebo.

Inclusion criteria

  2. Legally acceptable representative (guardian) properly informed about the study and having signed the form (ICF).

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

First dose exclusion criteria:

  1. Axillary temperature >37.0℃ before vaccination;
  2. Recepit of any rotavirus vaccine in the past;
  3. History of intussusception or suffering from intussusception or history of any chronic gastrointestinal disease, including congenital malformations of the gastrointestinal tract that are likely to cause intussusception (such as Meckel's diverticulum);
  4. Congenital malformations, developmental disorders, genetic defect, severe malnutrition, etc.;
  5. Subjects aged 2 years or younger with history of dystocia, suffocation rescue, or nervous system damage;

  9. Acute diseases (such as fever>39.0℃) or acute exacerbation of chronic disease within 3 days before vaccination;
  10. Receipt of immune enhancement (including oral or intravenous immunoglobulin, but immunoglobulin is acceptable) or therapy (continuous oral or intravenous infusion for more than 14 days) within 3 months;
  11. Recepit of within 14 days, or other vaccines within 7 days;
  12. Congenital or acquired immunodeficiency, infection, lymphoma, leukemia, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA), or other diseases;

  19. After the first vaccination, subjects with newly discovered or newly happened diseases that meet the first dose exclusion criteria will be determined by the investigator whether to continue participating the study;
  20. Other reasons for exclusion judged by the investigator.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(6)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Live vaccines

Vaccines made with a weakened form of the germ, such as measles–mumps–rubella (MMR), chickenpox and yellow fever. They can be risky when the immune system is weakened. Flu injections are not live; the nasal flu spray is.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Nov 20, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
